We Rated 8 On-Trend Canned Rosé Wines Just in Time for Summer

Of the things that make you think summer, is there anything better than a beautiful rosé wine? This year, the canned wine trend can be seen everywhere from festivals to picnics, with rosé wines at the forefront. Canned wines are practically packaged — they’re smaller, won’t break like glass bottles, don’t require a bottle opener, and contain multiple servings. Cans are also easier to recycle and have a smaller carbon footprint than glass bottles.

We sampled (and rated on a scale of one to 10) eight canned rosé wines. Read on for our reviews.

7/10

2. Essentially Geared Rosé, California 375ML

Essentially Geared’s Rosé had the strongest tasting notes of all the wines we sampled. It was floral and sweet, with a deep orange color. Pink starburst is what Essentially Geared compares it to and we have to agree. If you like your wine sweeter, this is your go-to!

9/10

4. Margerum Grenache Rosé, California 500ML

This was the biggest can we found, containing more than half of a bottle of wine. This beautiful grenache rosé is from Santa Barbara County and was a big hit during our tasting. It is light and refreshing, with notes of summer roses.

8/10

5. Simpler Wines Rosé, Australia 375ML

If you are in a pinch, swing by Trader Joe’s for this canned rosé. It is fruity and slightly watery, with notes of strawberry. If you can find their often sold-out slim can of sparkling rosé, go with that!

8/10

8. Presto Sparkling Rosé, Italy

We found this sparkling rosé to be very sour. The bubbles were nice and it was refreshing, but it wasn’t what we were looking for.

3/10

Our overall favorite?

Underwood Rosé, with its bright flavor and drinkability, takes home top honors, with Margerum Grenache Rosé as the close runner-up. The next time you’re left staring at the endless display of canned wine options at the store, grab these and we promise you won’t be disappointed.
